Anatomy of a Search - as seen by the Search Manager.

A 'timeline' talk on a recent search by the Search Manager (and others) from their perspective. A journey through the thoughts and decisions (cause and effects) from initial contact through to completion. If you often wonder why things occur the way they do here is a chance to maybe see why.

We will also be Distributing the new Wickable Polo Search Shirts this evening.

There will also be some essential Admin, if you have been sent CRB form, please ensure you bring it, completed and with supporting Documentation.

And hopefully a chance to Socialise in our last meeting before Christmas.
